Texico

Texico is created to suit my Latex workflow. It can be used to

• setup new projects,
• build existing projects and
• tag versions for release.

More functionality is planned.

Installation

Building projects requires latexmk. You can install it by running

$ tlmgr install latexmk

Then install Texico with

$ gem install texico

Usage

To setup a new project in the current directory, run

$ texico init

You will be guided through the setup process. When it completes you will be able to build the project using

$ texico

Global Config

I find it useful to store my name and email address in the global config. You can either create a .texico file in your home directory and add the relevant fields, or run

$ texico config --global author='Your Name' email=name@example.com

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
